Closing the Chasm: Taking Young People into Adult Mental Health Services: A one day conference for General Adult and Child & Adolescent Psychiatrists

Tuesday 23 February 2010 

Manchester

There has been longstanding concern about young people with mental health problems who fall between Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Adult Mental Health Services. There are differences in eligibility criteria and the change from a family focus to an individual one can be abrupt.  This situation is to the considerable detriment of young people who fall into the chasm between the two services.

 

This conference brings together the political and clinical imperatives for improving the care pathways and mental health services for young people, with examples of good practice.
